Individual certification method

Abstract

The present invention provides a safe and quick individual authentication method using a mobile terminal. When authentication is demanded from a mobile terminal 30 to an authentication server 10 , the authentication server 10 transmits verification code for authentication to the mobile terminal 30 . The mobile terminal 30 returns the verification code through a sales management server 23 via a reader 21 or the like to the authentication server 10 for authentication. The authentication server 10 verifies the returned verification code to the verification code previously generated, and returns a result of the verification and personal data required by the sales management server 23 to the sales management server 23.

1. An individual authentication method comprising the steps of:
 receiving, at a mobile terminal, a verification code generated by an authentication server in response to a request from the mobile terminal; 
 returning the verification code through a sales management server to the authentication server; 
 verifying the verification code generated in said authentication server to verification code transmitted from the sales management server; and 
 transmitting personal information corresponding to the verification code to said sales management server when it is determined that the two verification codes are identical, wherein an original face picture corresponding to the personal information and a dot arrangement with a plurality of specific colors different from bar code are received as the verification code by said mobile terminal and are displayed. 
 
   
   
     2. The individual authentication method according to  claim 1 , wherein the verification code received by said mobile terminal is read with an image reader having means for analyzing a dot display with specific colors and connecting to said sales management server. 
   
   
     3. The individual authentication method according to  claim 1 , wherein said dot arrangement with specific colors is provided with coordinate information. 
   
   
     4. The individual authentication method according to  claim 1 , wherein said verification code comprises code having no relation to said personal information. 
   
   
     5. The individual authentication method according to  claim 1 , wherein said verification code is not identical to any verification code generated in the past in said authentication server. 
   
   
     6. The individual authentication method according to  claim 1 , wherein said generated verification code is deleted within a prespecified period of time after generation thereof for disenabling the verification. 
   
   
     7. An individual authentication method comprising the steps of:
 receiving, at a mobile terminal, a verification code generated by an authentication server in response to a request from the mobile terminal; 
 returning the verification code through a sales management server to the authentication server; 
 verifying the verification code generated in said authentication server to verification code transmitted from the sales management server; and 
 transmitting personal information corresponding to the verification code to said sales management server when it is determined that the two verification codes are identical, 
 wherein the verification code received by said mobile terminal is displayed in a rectangular display range starting from first to fourth points as a dot arrangement with a plurality of specific colors distinguishable from colors of the first to fourth points, and 
 the verification code received by said mobile terminal is read with an image reader having means for analyzing the dot arrangement with specific colors and connected to said sales management server. 
 
   
   
     8. The individual authentication method according to  claim 7 , wherein said mobile terminal displays, in addition to the dot arrangement as the verification code and the first to fourth points, a horizontal pitch arrangement point and a vertical pitch measuring point as specific colors distinguishable with those of the first to fourth points and the dot arrangement of the verification code, said image reader analyzing dot pitch information of the dot arrangement by the horizontal and vertical pith arrangement points. 
   
   
     9. The individual authentication method according to  claim 7 , wherein said verification code comprises code having no relation to said personal information. 
   
   
     10. The individual authentication method according to  claim 7 , wherein said verification code is not identical to any verification code generated in the past in said authentication server. 
   
   
     11. The individual authentication method according to  claim 7 , wherein said generated verification code is deleted within a prespecified period of time after generation thereof for disenabling the verification.
